Vote for
Ali Stubbs!
Ali Stubbs, Bridget Funnell, Irene Thomson and Isobel Waterhouse (aka Drambluie
Rinse) hope to take part in the Drambuie Pursuit 2010, a wonderful fundraiser
and highland adventure. In order for them to win a place, they need you to
vote for their team via the Drambuie UK website now – it’s totally
FREE. They have to get in the top 5 to win a place, and if they become the
top voted team, £2,500 will be donated to Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust
which saves over 1,000 lives a year - it is something particularly close to
their hearts as they needed to use it for one of their walkers last year.
Vote for them here: http://www.drambuie.co.uk/teams/236
Once again it is
FREE to vote but it could make all the difference
THANKS FOR
YOUR SUPPORT!
Courses
For Everybody
There’s
really good news from the Yarner Trust in Welcombe this year
to lift your spirits and welcome in the spring.
Yarner would
like to encourage more people to enjoy their inspiring courses, and have created
a bursary to help fund places on courses. A generous legacy from one of their
founders, Tom Welch, has made sure that courses remain within everyone’s
reach. Anyone can apply and it’s a very simple process, so just call
Yarner on 01288-331692 or email
and they’ll help you get started. All they ask in return is your honesty
in paying the full rate where you can afford to do so.
Just some
of the new courses that might inspire you include Stone Carving, Cheese Making,
Beekeeping and beauty products. Not forgetting their popular favourites such
as Lime Rendering, Yurt Making and Smallholding. There’s also a special
4 day Butterfly Break where you get a mini holiday as well
as exploring Devon Wildlife Trust’s nature reserve at Marsland.
LINk in
Cornwall is listening….
….Have your say! Help LINk [Local Involvement Network] in Cornwall speak
with a stronger voice.
LINk in Cornwall is an independent network run by the people, groups and organisations
in Cornwall who take part in it.
LINk works with the people who plan and run health and social care services
to bring your voices into their decision making processes. We raise local
issues, ask questions about the way services are run and make recommendations
about changing existing and future health and social care services.
Do you have a story?
We hold quarterly events for people in Cornwall ( and Welcombe is included)
to come along and share their views on what they think is working and is not
working well with health and social care services.
To tell us your story, learn more about LINk please get in touch. Telephone:

National
Trust at Welcombe Mouth
The Devon Wildlife Trust has gifted 26 hectares of it's land at Welcombe
Mouth to the National Trust. The National Trust will work closely with the
village community to ensure high quality and appropriate access as well as
protecting the landscape and wildlife. Repairs have already been made to the
track and a new gate has been installed which will be kept shut. Please always
ensure that you close the gate behind you when visiting the beach. The Trust
intends to undertake some archaeological and biological surveys in the area.
